Sounds hormonal to me, as anything that has a cycle may be. It is possible for

some women to have some sort of cycle, even after oophorectomy, and even some

time after the menopause.

Hormonal tests, including oestrogen / progesterone and adrenal profile can help

clarify the situation. How is her sleep, does she feel refreshed in the

mornings?

Hope this helps.

No, pills which her very supportive GP drew up a programme for her to come

off gradually as she had been taking for 10yrs so noe she's got hot flushes

as well on her bad week.

Have her check the acidity of her urins and saliva on

rising for a few days. Diabetics (and other degen.

conditions) tend to have acidic urine/saliva which can

account for frquency.

Would this'd explain why she only gets it in two weekly cycles, if it was

happening all the time it would make more sense to me but will get her to do

a check.

Sounds like she is having an incredibly short hormonal cycle as many of

these symptoms are related to progesterone (pelvic floor weakness,

constipation, bleeding gums, etc.) hormonal changes also known to cause

HAs, fatigue etc. Onset of Sx after pregnancy is also a big clue.

Strange that cycle continues like this after removal of ovaries but I

would still aim to treat hormone levels as they must be being generated

by other hormone-producing tissues.

Hi

I have have several female patients who still have what I refer to as a

shadow cycle even into their late 70s. Some of them have had their ovaries

removed at some significant time in the past. Each can tell exactly when

her ovulation and menstruation would have occured. I think that is what is

happening here. The evidence, although circumstantial points to this and

the symptoms could easily be hormonal. I would treat her as if it were

hormonal and see if that makes a difference.
